ONE love, blood, life
any of you ever been on a blind date?
the idea behind it is certainly quite simple, but should anyone be willing to examine it for what it's really worth, blind dates are anything but simple.
it starts at childhood. kindergarten, perhaps even preschool. being "attracted" to that special someone, or to, perhaps, several people is something instilled at an incredibly young age.
it is in us to love. it's quite beautiful really.
and the older you get, the more complicated it gets. back to kindergarten, it's so obvious to see who likes who. it's sweet. i know there was one girl i was with all the time for the first four years of school. looking back, and if i try to remember, i don't think looks really even meant anything back then. not at all! honestly. it was just a mutual attraction of carachters - ironically perhaps, the most pure of loves.
all at the age of five.
that's about when things begin to change, i guess. people grow older, and either become more comfortable with who they are, or digress and feel themselves dissolve into a state of unapproachable darkness.
by the time they're in junior high, slightly more serious "relationships" evolve, though generally speaking, these are the most shallow of them all. truly everything is based on popularity and looks at this point, and very little on true feelings.
throughout high school it's a bit of the same, though a matured mind slowly but surely begins to register some common sense when looking for the right mate.
and after high school, well, people get desperate.
and that's why they agree to blind dates. they know deep down that while they may still be young, they're certainly older than they were yesterday, and are gonna be even older tommorow.
the thought of children, their own family, and being successful together is perhaps a pipedream simply not within everyone's grasp.
and that, my friends, is a terrible, terrible realisation.

He was my first childhood crush in nursery school.
In my defence, I had only ever spoken to him a few times before that, once I was really drunk, my friend and I had drank in about half the pubs in Belfast and the last pub we went into he was there and the other times I seen him he was in a club with loud music and I usually had had a few drinks. I see him when I'm out now, I was out with another bloke in December, he seen us and pushed him over at the bar. He ignores me though.
